Side Skirts and front air dams

[dragansj]

I wonder if these would fit the aussie ES ?

They will fit, but you will probably find them cheaper from x-factor

Pretty sure that would fit mate because the US model lancer has the same styling as ours just a different name. As far as I know the DS is the US's name for our ES.

I heard someone mention VRX's have slightly different suspension/height to VR's (and ES's by extension I suppose)?
Is this true?

Ie is their absolutely any issues with putting VRX airdams onto a VR?

Am I gonna scrape them ever?
I've scraped the little plastic things infront of the wheels, are the airdams likely to hit curbs?
The xfactor ones are pretty heavy (2.5kg), would the mitsu ones be lighter or are they meant to be heavy?

Just don't want to make a bad buy.

Mez (Adrian) has these on his VR, they look good and he got them from x-factor our club sponsor

you shouldn't scrape them but maybe Adrian could give you a bit more info on how they've been

Ive just ordered a set of front air dams off shadows. The parts dont weigh 2.5 kg. thats the entire shipping box.

You wont be disapointed with the quality of the x-factor front air dams. They are manufactured in accordance of OEM specs from mitsubishi. Shadows has a very strict quality control and if anything happens hes more than happy to help

I will tell you now you are going to scrape them. Everyone does including people with a VRX. You just learn to live with it

The airdams are pretty light. I reckon the 2 are probably 1kg total.

Stock VRX Height

They way I see it, they are sacrificial, a cheap replacement, and they save the actual bumper getting damaged you see.

[Graham]

those air dams look pretty banged up
But then again my lip is in pretty bad condition and so is part of my bumper before I had the lip

From normal view though you will usually never see the under-damage

[SIR-VRX]

That's it. You don't see them from above

Have to get on the ground to see it

[LZY_EYE]

not airdams but basically sit as low.

This was when the car is lowered. My airdams were no where near as bad, and they came off the car at the same time...

My car's a VR and I have the Front Air Dams on mine. I have scraped both of them twice each side just from general driveways. And I am at stock height.

[Dire]

I have hit those plastic rectangle things twice already.
Are they higher/lower/similar to the air dams? Would very much like to know.
While I'm asking, what are they even for?

I need to get onto box curbs sometimes to park and if the air dams are GOING to scrape then its not really an option, I'll forget about them until I don't have to park their anymore.

My first car was a lowered + evo VI kit lancer and hitting that beautiful front bumper on curbs was the worst feeling, and I'd hate it more in my new lancer.
They might be 'cheap' buts its not really cheap to me right now, so I'll spend on something that'll be safe.

A cheap option could be something like an under-car-bra or some black vinyl underneath the car.

Perhaps try the front bumper blackout mod and also do a line around the front bottom end end of the car in vinyl, you could even take it the whole way around the car

Just a cheaper option I thought of just then though
